CMMC Practice Test (CCP)

The CMMC Practice Test (CCP) is a free intermediate-level, 20-minute skill test from Science of Apps. It tests knowledge for CMMC roles such as the Certified CMMC Professional (CCP) — the CMMC 2.0 programme and levels, scoping CUI and assets, NIST SP 800-171 security requirements, and assessment, POA&Ms and affirmations — written to 32 CFR Part 170, NIST SP 800-171 and Cyber AB guidance for 2026. Score 70% or more on its 20 questions to earn a verifiable CMMC Exam Readiness certificate (SOA-CMMC). Every question is based on published standards and research — including Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program (32 CFR Part 170) (US Department of Defense), NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2/3: Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (NIST), CMMC ecosystem roles (CCP, CCA, C3PAO) (The Cyber AB) — and each answer is explained with its source.

Yes. The questions are original scenarios written by Science of Apps, and each one is based on a public source you can read: Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) program (32 CFR Part 170) (US Department of Defense); NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2/3: Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information (NIST); CMMC ecosystem roles (CCP, CCA, C3PAO) (The Cyber AB). The source is shown under each question and linked in the answer review. Science of Apps doesn't copy questions from other tests.

Four skill areas with five questions each, drawn from a bank of 10 per area so a retake brings new questions: The CMMC Programme and Levels (Purpose, Levels and Roles); Scoping CUI and Assets (Asset categories, Enclaves and Flow of CUI); NIST SP 800-171 Security Requirements (Access control, Identification and authentication and Other families); Assessment, POA&Ms and Affirmations (Assessment methods, Scoring and POA&Ms). Every question is an original scenario written to the 2026–2027 standard, with the published source named under it.

Defence contractor compliance manager, IT security manager, CMMC consultant, Certified CMMC Professional candidate and Government contracts administrator. It suits anyone who wants a quick, verifiable way to show CMMC knowledge in 2026 and 2027, from students and career switchers to experienced professionals.

The CMMC programme rule (32 CFR Part 170) took effect in December 2024, and DFARS clauses began phasing CMMC requirements into Department of Defense contracts from November 2025 over several phases.

Level 1 protects Federal Contract Information with 15 basic safeguarding requirements; Level 2 protects CUI using the 110 requirements of NIST SP 800-171 Rev. 2; Level 3 adds selected NIST SP 800-172 requirements for higher-priority programmes.

You see your score for each area and every question with the correct answer and why, with the published source behind it. You can retake after 30 minutes, and the retake draws questions you haven't seen yet.

No. Every certificate is dated, so it always shows when you passed. Retake a test any time for a newer date or a higher score.
